Steve, old friend, you have been very busy in the last couple of months!

I note that at CalStar you observed the marvelous objects near NGC 6723 and NGC 6726, -27, -29, and Bernes 157 in Corona Australis, one of my all-time favorite fields in the sky. I did an OOTW about this area on June 8th, 2014 and I revisit it every time the conditions in the south are pristine from my observing site in the local desert.

It will take some time to digest all of the wonders you have visited in the last 3 months, but I look forward to the challenge of tracking some of these guys down. You always have something new to offer my old eyes and I appreciate your dedication to reporting it all to us mere mortal observers.

I can't wait to get out to the desert later this month... and I now have a new "to-do" list...
